Overcoming RAM Limits with Memory Compression (ZRAM)
ZRAM Concept and Principles ZRAM (formerly known as compcache) is a memory compression technology provided by the Linux kernel that creates a virtual block device by compressing a portion of RAM. This technology was first developed by Nitin Gupta in 2009 and officially integrated into the Linux kernel from version 3.14. The core idea of ZRAM is to utilize compressed RAM as swap space instead of disk-based swap, reducing memory usage without the overhead of disk I/O operations. ...
